Matthew Depero is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable data and ad systems, currently working on YouTube video ads and recently based in San Francisco after moving from Ohio. He has shipped end-to-end ad inventory and experimental formats at Google, built petabyte-scale crawl-to-index pipelines and a multithreaded Go S3 Parquet reader/writer at Neeva, and contributed bug fixes and tests to the Go Parquet integration in Apache Arrow. Comfortable across the stack—Go, React/TypeScript, GraphQL, AWS, Spark—he’s worked at startups (YC-backed Fintool), search privacy pioneer Neeva, and Google, blending product-focused execution with deep infrastructure chops. Outside product work, he’s maintained open-source rigor by improving Parquet boolean decoding and dictionary encoding correctness, showing attention to edge cases that matter at scale.
